Upgrading your Phoenix Gold car speakers is one of the most simple ways to get better sound out of your car’s stereo system. Phoenix Gold car speakers come in several sizes and price ranges so it is helpful to have a basic understanding of them before you go shopping. Here are some general tips to follow to help:

Choosing Phoenix Gold Car Speakers

Plan Your Budget. Decide how much you are looking to spend and the extent of the upgrade. Are you replacing just the Phoenix Gold car speakers or making more substantial changes to your sound system? When you have a budget, it makes shopping much easier and prevents you from spending money on unnecessary components. Another thing you want to consider is if you are willing to alter your car. Are you looking for speakers that fit in the existing spots in your car or are you comfortable modifying your vehicle?

Drop Ins. There is a large range of speakers that have been designed to “drop in” to the existing cutout spaces in your car. If you plan on doing the installation yourself this is probably the route to go. They are fairly easy to install and can make a big improvement in sound quality. If you are looking to add additional speakers to your system there are usually additional cutouts spread throughout the vehicle. A professional installer should know where to find these cutouts and some retailers will have manufacturer listings of which speakers fit in various cars.

Component vs. Coaxial. Replacement speakers can be purchased as coaxial or component. A coaxial speaker means that the tweeter is mounted over the sub-woofer, these are the most common types of speakers and will be the least expensive option when upgrading. If you are looking for a higher end upgrade you should consider component speakers. This simply means that the tweeter and sub-woofer are separate components; which makes it easier to position each component where it enhances the sound quality the most. These systems will usually include crossover electronics but sub-woofers are often an added accessory. Component speakers also require an amplifier for power.

Sub-woofers. Sub-woofers can be purchased in a couple of different formats. Raw sub-woofers consist of the driver or speaker cone suspended in a metal frame that is called a spider. The other option when buying a sub-woofer is an enclosed one. This means that it is enclosed in a box. Enclosed sub-woofers are mainly unpowered and require a amplifier. You can also purchase sub-woofers that include a amplifier and crossover equipment which can make installation a lot easier.

Sensitivity. This measures the sound that a speaker gets from the power that is sent to it. If you have a factory-installed car stereo, it is likely it is low powered, so you should look for a high sensitivity rating. If you have replaced your system with a high-end, higher-powered system, it is best to consider Phoenix Gold car speakers with a lower sensitivity rating.
